He ran that year as tho prohibition candidate and .now bis friend* foci that he in on titled to participate in the fruits of the victory for which he fought when the odds were agairut prohi bition, Mr. Featberstone recently made a public statement of hi* riows, declaring in favor of Stale prohibition la?v. but permitting any county desiring to hnve tho ?ale of whiskey to do ho by vote. This is practically the revorso of the proaeut system. f> Many prohibitionists feci that aincs the State is in sentiment now undoubtedly prohibition, there . should be a prohibition governor, ?but they do not desire to see a man elected merely because he espouses that cause.

KNOWN, To "Hiawatha," *>ne ?t Longfel low's heat poems, wo net u very flood list of moat of tho wild animals that we ?ver have any contact with. Wo find in there bow the young hunter i braves the terror# of the forwt ami ? kills tbe bears which are about tbe fiercest anlmah we have, and alto bow be makes friends with the litUo chipmunka and squirrels. When oar land was covered with foreete, bears and doer and many other animals abonnded which wo seldom bear of now. For a while, fiothlng **&" more common than to startle a deer uri< 1 have him career iug away, or come upon a beard of antelope; while now, if any one should chance to meet a liUle fawn, be would bo as frightened aa the lit tie animal. Tbe most common animals which run wild about us are tbe fox, tbe rabbit, and all kinds of little Mjulr rels. Many a cool night, while tbe round moon was sailing icrenely overhead, bas a poor little fox run and ran for ite life, while behind him come tbe bounds baying and yelping, and following them, the hunters, whose shrill horn sonnds far and. wide in tbe stili air. TbOj only reason that the fox is hunted Is because it ia Bucb n pest Many a farm has been robbud night after' nipht by thin shy and canning am mal. Tboy are exceedingly hard to! catch. unleas they are etnrtlcd from their deus, uou^liy some brush I pie, and bunted down. Their long buwhy tail is the trophy of Micceas | which the triumphant-hunters brin^ homo. ! Kverv day mound uh wo fitartio aome rabbil from a biding place and see her flying across some eottmj flf.lid or darting nndor a bush. Thoae littlo animals are great nuisancos, especially to people *ho try to have gardens, because they always find out eome v.fiv to get in a garden and always find tbe tenderest of the ( cul,bng<'H nnd tbe youn^st lettueo | These little anirnabi have the dearest little homes or bui roughs, which are deep little boles in the side of souic, hill and fi<;UJ with a lot of soft warm fur. Squirrels build similar newts in the hollow ol ho too tree and all day long they ucampcr up and down, while 'h? y "fold ttnd cluitter with each other. Thuee little creatures, who toitl Hiawatha ail their seereta, arc grtod providers for the winter, for. hh soon. as the nuta begin to ripen, they gather thom up ond store them away for tho wiutcr. There are many other iittloanimuH ol which wo hoar very otton. i bore are tbe chipmunks which always re mind me of Daniol \ Webster, and there arc different kinds of squlrrola all about. It would take days to toll of tho different habits of tbe. many different animals, of their ways aud lives. If you would like to know more about thom, allow me to refer you to "Undo Komne" for who tells bet tor than bo of .the boavy and clumny ways of tbe boar, or of the wily Cun ning of "Hrer Kabbit?"
